چکیده
Given a hyperbolic 3–manifold with torus boundary, we bound the change in volume under a Dehn filling where all slopes have length at least 2π. This result is applied to give explicit diagrammatic bounds on the volumes of many knots and links, as well as their Dehn fillings and branched covers. Finally, we use this result to bound the volumes of knots in terms of the coefficients of their Jones polynomials.

We show examples of knots with the same polynomial invariants and hyperbolic volume, with variously coinciding 2-cable polynomials and colored Jones polynomials, which are not mutants. AMS Classifications: 57M25, 57N70

We show that several classes of links, including semiadequate links and Whitehead doubles of semiadequate knots, have non-trivial Jones polynomial. Then we prove that there are infinitely many positive knots with no positive minimal crossing diagrams, and infinitely many achiral knots of odd crossing number. Some applications to the twist number of a link, Mahler measure and the hyperbolic volu...

The k-dimensional Dehn (or isoperimetric) function of a group bounds the volume of efficient ball-fillings of k-spheres mapped into k-connected spaces on which the group acts properly and cocompactly; the bound is given as a function of the volume of the sphere. We advance significantly the observed range of behavior for such functions. First, to each non-negative integer matrix P and positive ...

Abstract. A theorem of Scott gives an upper bound for the normalized volume of lattice polygons with exactly i > 0 interior lattice points. We will show that the same bound is true for the normalized volume of lattice polytopes of degree 2 even in higher dimensions. The finiteness of lattice polytopes of degree 2 up to standard pyramids and affine unimodular transformation follows from a theore...

We prove that the canonical volume K ≥ 1 30 for all 3-folds of general type with χ(O) ≤ 0. This bound is sharp.
